EVERYBODY’S NO. 1 VACATION SPOT
With the Holy Week fast approaching, my thoughts once again go back to that most wonderful vacation place in the world…
HONG KONG
Now, this may be a contentious claim and might seem totally uninformed, but please hear me out for one second.
- Hong Kong is a shopping mecca for almost any product you want
- It can be pleasantly chilly (last month January experienced the country’s coldest temperature at 3 degrees!)
- It is just an hour-plus airplane ride away (shorter than most commutes in Metro Manila even!)
- Hong Kong Disneyland.
Okay, so that last bullet point is actually the real reason for this claim of mine. I mean, I can’t imagine a world without Walt Disney and his creations. Can you? I once gave it a serious try, and it just left me extremely depressed. No Mickey Mouse? No Elsa, or Sofia the First?
So, where are you guys headed for vacation this March?
MY (SO FAR) BEST VERSION OF A MICKEY MOUSE PARTY
Speaking of Walt and Mickey, I wanted to show you Party Magic’s latest stab at re-creating the masterpiece that is Mickey Mouse. I had been meaning to post these photos for some time now, but my schedule has been cruel and I’ve been handcuffed to all sorts of work.
Here is Andres’ wonderful Vintage Mickey party!
Many of my readers are no doubt aware of my endless fascination (and obsession!) with everything Mickey and Disney. For those who aren’t, here’s a quick rundown of some of my interesting blog posts related to the great Walt:

Bash and Ethan: A Vintage Mickey Affair
Andres’ party though, was a real mountain to execute, mostly because of the venue – The Silk Pavillon at Blue Leaf McKinley. For those who are researching for good venues for your parties, try checking out my other blog post, Top 10 Kiddie Party Venues in Metro Manila.
This venue has it all – tasteful interior, and of course, an extremely high ceiling!
I chose to do a scattering of swags, lanterns, gold stars, and some honeycomb lanterns. All of this combined provided that sort of vintage-y, “red carpet” glam look.
Oh and of course, let’s not forget my favorite vintage Mickey movie posters!
The stage is an awesome sight to behold.
